Re: autoconf 2.5, 2.13, and Vim

[Charles E. Campbell]

Hello!

A file called "auto/config.h" gets written; the relevant portion
is transcribed here:

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
/* Define to `int' if <sys/types.h> doesn't define.  */
#define mode_t int

/* Define to `long' if <sys/types.h> doesn't define.  */
#define off_t long

/* Define to `long' if <sys/types.h> doesn't define.  */
#define pid_t int

/* Define to `unsigned' if <sys/types.h> doesn't define.  */
#define size_t unsigned

/* Define to `int' if <sys/types.h> doesn't define.  */
/* #undef uid_t */

/* Define to `int' if <sys/types.h> doesn't define.  */
/* #undef gid_t */

/* Define to `long' if <sys/types.h> doesn't define.  */
#define ino_t long

/* Define to `unsigned' if <sys/types.h> doesn't define.  */
#define dev_t unsigned
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

All these variables are typedef'd by <sys/types.h>, which vim
includes.  Consequently no vim source compiles; I need to go into
auto/config.h and get rid of the errant #defines.

Vim doesn't appear to include <inttypes.h> anywhere and, after checking
out the files under /usr/include/..., none of them include <inttypes.h>
either.  This is the first time I've had a problem with <sys/types.h>
conflicting with <inttypes.h>; looks like <inttypes.h> hasn't been
needed by any of the source I've ever compiled heretofore.

Regards,
Chip Campbell
